What if I have a redundant colon?

The redundant colon is a challenge that you must accommodate (i.e. - water, fiber, food choices, etc.) to get your equipment to work. So first, your food does have a long, tortuous journey, but you can find what makes things work as best they can. If you have not tried soaking flax seeds and having 4 tbsp. with each meal, that's something that may help.

The spastic colon is due to:

1) The microbial microbiome

2) Inflammation, and that's where this program can help. Your body has to establish a workable system with the redundancy, but the "spastic" aspect has to do with the microbes affecting peristalsis and inflammation from an imbalance in the microbial species. The gas/bloating is due to "sugar fermenter species" overgrowth too high up in your intestinal tract. This program is designed to help with that.

You’ll be a bit of "wild card" in that you have the extra G.I. tract length, so you'll just have to try it. A dietary adjustment at the onset, where you focus on the bone broth and thus reduce the "sugar fermenter" species, will be a big help. Follow our dietary advice and avoid hi-carb foods (i.e. - sugars, breads, etc.). The first and second parts of this program should help reduce the overgrowth and improve the bloating. Then the second part should also help with the overall balance, repair of inflammation, etc. You'll need to start easy and make sure you can handle the work, so go little by little. Many of you with redundant colons will fall into Plan S.
